Lightweight wheeled rover locomotion has been the focus of research due to their reliability and simplicity of use. Soft sand inclines remain a challenge for wheeled rovers due to the high slippage and also a high risk for the wheels to dig into the sand and get stuck, due to the flowing nature of s...
